After reporting the news of Zuozong's death to his relatives, Shuer also joined them, and the burden on his shoulders was finally lifted a little.
"After all, I am a guard by myself, and the task is a bit heavy."
The kidnappers were concerned about the attack but did not appear to have carried it out with the risks in mind.
Frankly speaking, if something happened, it would be difficult for her to break away from Alyssa and Lyrica.
I told Schuler that I was tired because I had been dealing with wild horse riots and kidnappers yesterday afternoon.
The real reason was that I was stuck in a squishy lump all night and couldn't sleep at all, but neither Schuler nor Bolz could possibly have noticed such a story.
"Mr. Hua Wuming is a very gentleman. I slept soundly last night."
"Yes, I also rested on the bed next to the eldest lady, but I didn't take my husband into consideration."
Despite playing with me all night, Alyssa and Lyrica reported to Borch as if nothing had happened.
Shure was back, so I just had a hot water bottle for one night, but after that night, I was a little scared of the way the two of them were going to target my fur.
"Hey, since you want to bully Catman so much, why not be nice to Catman?"
Despite all the mishaps, the business negotiations in Kilmaia ended successfully and we returned to Ibro.
Shure monitored the left and right in front, and I used the detection position to monitor the left and right behind. It looked like we were making good progress, but a traveler got stuck at the foot of Mount Buller.
In the town of Luga Island, soldiers restricted traffic on the Escalante side of the road that passes through the foothills of Mount Buller.
The reason for the traffic restrictions is the frequent occurrence of killer bee infestations.
It seems that at this time, which is already approaching the depths of winter, the killer bees, who are forced to build new nests, are eager to store food.
Even when we were attacked, quite a few bandits were killed, but later there were cases where entire vehicles were attacked and horses were eaten to death.
Therefore, it seems that heading to Nakut on the other side of the road requires someone who can use B-level fire-attribute magic to accompany you.
The best way to kill killer bees is to burn them with fire magic.
Killer bees have sharp, powerful jaws and venomous stingers, but the wings on which their bodies fly can easily catch fire.
If it falls on the ground, its attack power will not only be halved, but also greatly reduced.
In fact, Killer Bee seemed to feel danger when using large-scale fire magic, and then left.
However, the magic used in our attack can only be activated with a low-quality magic gun, and it does not seem to be able to drive away the killer bees.
It seems it needs to be powerful enough to burn them all at once over a larger area.
It seems that those who want to move on from Kashima need to obtain a certificate from the Escalante Family Knights to prove that they can truly use large-scale fire-based magic.
"The people guarding the carriage are not necessarily fire attribute owners."
In fact, Shuer is very talented, but he has a wind attribute, so even if he applies, he may not be able to get the certificate.
In Kashima, the commission fees for adventurers who can use large-scale fire-attribute magic have skyrocketed, more than three times the usual amount.
Even so, manpower is limited, so the carriage cannot be found and the escort is trapped.
The Certificate of Passage for the Knights seems to have nothing to do with the level of the guild, and is issued after confirming whether magic can actually be used.
When he heard about the situation at the hotel where he had finally booked a room, Borch put his head in his hands, while Schuler puffed out his chest.
"Hua Wuming is here, so don't worry."
"No, Hua Wuming is a natural attribute, isn't she? Unless she can use fire attribute magic."
"Hua Wuming is extremely talented, so there is no problem."
I entrusted Schuler to escort the confused Bolz and others to the knight's office where the certificate was issued.
There are about 10 people in the office. Like us, we learned about the situation after arriving at Kashima and came to apply for documents so that we can leave tomorrow.
I checked my guild card for the time being to authenticate, but I'm wondering if I can actually use magic without my level.
"Even if your level is high, it doesn't mean you are good at attacking magic."
For example, even if the guild's level is B, there are still people who mainly use physical strengthening magic and are not good at attacking magic.
Physical enhancement is almost useless against Killer Bee, so if you can't use practical attack magic, you won't get the certificate.
When it was my turn, I watched the demonstration and the person who deployed the flame curtain, which was about 5 meters long and 5 meters wide, received a certificate.
One guy fired a powerful fireball but didn't get a certificate because it was too small.
It seems that what is needed is not attack power, but range.
When it was my turn to show my guild card, the soldier at the reception desk looked puzzled.
"Empty attribute? No, I am practicing fire attribute magic."
"Yes, you can see it at a glance, and you can also use fire magic, so please judge it anyway."
When the soldier saw the attribute column of the guild card and tilted his head, I asked him to take a look.
"Then try to use magic to make the flames as big as possible."
"Understood"
It seems that I still pay attention to appearance, so I enlarged the fire pillars used when fighting Bode and activated 3 fire pillars about 5 meters in diameter.
"Oh great, great, I passed, today is the best."
Seeing the pillar of fire, the soldier exclaimed and immediately passed the test.
"The power is amazing, but why can someone with natural attributes still use fire magic?"
"This is the secret of being an adventurer"
"Okay, I didn't mean to pry, and I don't mind if you talk first, but please be careful. According to reports, even killer bees fall into the ferocious category. If necessary, I will give you a horse as a pawn. Bait, protect yourself first.”
"Understood, proceed with caution."
The city of Luga Island is crowded with stranded travelers and it is difficult to find accommodation.
Diaco Furniture Factory only rented a four-person room, and they spent the night in the carriage.
However, since it was a carriage from a furniture workshop, the seat was more comfortable than the bed in a cheap hotel, and it was better than other travelers who had not found an inn.
While guarding the carriage, I spent the night curled up in a cushion made of natural materials.
Early the next morning, there was already a carriage waiting to set off on the highway heading north from Lu Island.
In order to keep the carriage moving forward, we needed a guard who could use fire magic to accompany us, and a temporary caravan of five carriages was built.
It seems that if multiple people use magic, it will be easier to expel them as the size of the attack increases.
I greeted the adventurers guarding the other carriages, but they all seemed to think Schuller could use fire magic.
Although it was a temporary caravan, it only shortened the distance between the front and rear of the carriage.
If we encounter a killer bee, the plan is to make it as small as possible and intercept it with fire magic.
Before setting off, we revealed our identities to each other and formed a caravan so we didn’t have to worry about bandits.
Along the way, all the carriage guards looked in the direction of Mount Buller.
About two hours after setting off, I took a break halfway through.
According to soldiers stationed there, they have not received any news of the appearance of killer bees today.
From here it is the domain of the Vicomte Lagathe, past the place where we were attacked.
In fact, 80% of the killer bee's damage seems to occur after entering the territory of Viscount Lagarto.
"Be very careful. It rained yesterday so we haven't received any information about damage yet. Please assume there will be an attack today."
Killer bees seem to have a habit of not hunting on rainy days.
"Maybe she doesn't like her wings getting wet."
When the other carriages in the makeshift caravan heard the soldiers' stories, their faces twitched.
A dog adventurer in his thirties who was guarding another carriage said to the calm people in the furniture workshop.
"Hey, don't you know how scary killer bees are?"
"No, I know. We met once on the way from Ibro to Kilmaia."
"Is that so? What was the situation at that time?"
Keen, the butler, praised so much that even the other guards gathered around him.
"? Did you save it by covering the entire carriage with natural magic?"
"Is an empty attribute an empty attribute?"
You may not believe it just by listening to Keen's story, but adventurers have gathered here to serve as guards for me.
"Hey, can you protect five carriages at once?"
"It's impossible. All we can do is block our carriage."
"Would it help if I crawled under your carriage?"
"Yes, then whatever"
The makeshift caravan consisted of two covered carriages.
If you're in a cabin, you can stay inside, but if you're in a covered wagon, you'll be preyed upon by killer bees.
Once an attack occurred, I decided that if I wanted to escape, I would keep breaking out. If there were too many people, I would escape to another carriage.
Even on furniture shop Diaco's carriage, when it left Deer Island, the craftsman boarded the cabin rather than the cargo bed with a hood.
"We have two caravans left in front of us."
There are only more than two hours left. Can we reach our destination safely?
